The self-help industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. It fills bookstores and conference rooms. It’s made media celebrities out of people and capitalized wildly off the growing self-consciousness of recent generations. And although it’s changed the lives of millions of people (mostly for the better) it still lacks a certain credibility with most.

So what’s the point of all of this? It’s this: figuring it out for ourselves.

That may sound like an obvious cop-out, but seriously, why would anyone else have the answers to your life but you?

We can take the knowledge and ideas into consideration, but ultimately, it comes down to our willingness to take responsibility of our own lives and being able to put this knowledge into practical use.
